Hi, when opening the course page on my 2020 12.9 iPad it is just a white screen. Any advice? I tried resetting the device.

Thank you for sharing. Similar thing happened to me for Aug, scored -8 below average. For me, it was intense test anxiety. For those asking whether there's a specific reason bombs happen, I don't think it's that easy to nail down. It's taken me several weeks of therapy and light practice to regain the confidence I had pre-test and formulate more realistic game-day strategies. It will be different for each person.
Remember to be kind to yourself--we got this!

I am so sorry the test didn't go as planned. I understand. On the Aug test I crashed and burned on the LG and got -9 my average.
Please try to be kind to yourself and rest up this weekend.
I hope you did better than you thought but please know that you can be flexible with yourself and not to settle beneath your potential. I missed both Oct and Nov tests due to anxiety. I was tempted to apply with my "crash and burn" score to my local school but ultimately decided to take an extra year to study (lightly) and grab accommodations.
You have another shot in Jan, and if that doesn't work out, taking another year is not the end of the world. You do not have to accept anything beneath your full potential unless you want to. You got this!

I thought this was a really tricky question for a 3-level difficulty.
F: Our exercise machines are in use after 1 yr [CONCLUSION], because our survey of customers says so [PREMISE].
G: But those customers in the survey could have been lying.
F: You can't prove they were lying, so your objection is wrong.
F's flaw is that they assume their premise/evidence remains true simply because G isn't able to definitively prove that it is false. Simply arguing that an objection to your premise is false does not make that premise true.
I think what makes this question hard is the fact that F does not state this assumption directly. If in the last paragraph they said, "therefore, my survey is still true!!" D would jump out a lot more.

Totally normal! As you start doing longer pts you’ll get data sets that will more accurately highlight areas to improve.

Yes, there aren't any explanation videos for LR PTs 1 - 15 as well as some of the lettered tests (PTA, etc).
For PT 15 S3 Q01, since it is a Main Conclusion, I like to first identify the sentence that is closest to the MC.
First sentence is context
Second sentence is main conclusion
Third sentence is premise
Taking a closer look at the second sentence, it states, "Skepticism about this claim is borne out by examining early eighteenth-century editions of the plays." What is "this claim?" If you look at the first sentence, it is the claim by "those who support the continued reading and performance of Shakespeare's plays" ... that "his work has always extended beyond educated elites."
Therefore, the main conclusion should say something like, casts doubt on the claim that Shakespeare's plays always included people beyond the elites.
A: No, the main conclusion is not trying to say that S's plays are a criterion for distinguishing between classes.
B: Yes, the main point is to provide evidence to suggest that Shakespeare's plays were confined to elites at some point, and thus not extending to people with ordinary means.
C: No, the stimulus doesn't talk at all about what is appreciated today.
D : No, trap answer, the author is not trying to prove definitively that only educated elites have appreciated Shakespeare's work ever since they were created, only to cast doubt on the claim that Shakespeare's work has always been appreciated beyond just the elites. (Therefore, it is possible that at one time Shakespeare's work was limited only to elites, which is what B says)
E: No, the educated elite are not the ones with skepticism

Agreed with jerslander, I don't think you should take PT Wed. To add to their pts, Best case scenario it reaffirms what you already know, that you can kill this test, worst case scenario, can be a confidence killer which you don't need two days before test.

I've been in the same situation. It sucks, and I emphasize with you.
Everyone learns differently but my advice is: do NOT drill heavily. If you have been averaging mid-160s you clearly know the content. Drilling RCs right before the test is not going to significantly teach you things that will magically get you a 160 score; you clearly have that ability already. If you burn yourself out on drills you will not perform well.
If you dropped that low bc of one section, perhaps it was a luck issue or a confidence issue. If it's the latter, I would recommend some light practice (sections of 1-2 passages) to swerve back into your confidence zone and also reinforce your test-taking strategies.
Good luck, and remember--a PT score is just that: a PT score. You're clearly a mid-160s LSAT warrior and I manifest that score for you on the actual test. Cheers!

Welcome back! Short answer: Yes, I recommend taking a timed test as a "diagnostic" now to see where you're at. I would also Blind Review it (explanation in the curriculum).
Long answer: Imo, I would just view the diagnostic as a diagnostic. It's just a tool to see where you're at and what you need to work on. It's one of those things that I don't like to overthink.
When taking the diagnostic, I recommend 1.) take PT 36 if it is still available to you 2.) take it under time constraints that are appropriate for you (accommodations/no accommodations) 3.) take it in the environment you think you will take the real test (room, time of day, routine, etc.)
When reviewing your results, I would take the following into consideration for your future studies: 1.) Content. What sections did I struggle on? What questions in those sections did I struggle on? 2.) Timing. What was my pace throughout the test? What timing strategies can I start forming?
Imo these are the 2 crucial elements to your success and the earlier you start considering them as you go through curriculum and PTs, the better.

Hi, I went through the same thing--first 6 mos or so of my studying, varied from about 159 - 169 w/ slow upward trend. It's ultimately hard to say with certainty, but here are some questions that might help.
1.) How early are you in your studies? I struggled with the content at first but some concepts I understood at a "gut level", so some PTs I just did better trusting my gut and others I struggled with because I didn't understand the concepts at a more technical level. As I practiced more with the CC concepts my scores became more stable.
2.) Do you think you have an anxiety issue? I ask because you got a 172 by taking sections on different days. I found I often scored higher when I did this as well since it helped with anxiety.
3.) Same as 2, do you have an endurance issue? Same reasoning as above, taking sections on different days is a lot less mentally taxing than doing it all at once.
Ultimately, I think some variance at the beginning of studying is normal. As you practice, learn the concepts better, and grow stronger mentally, you should start seeing more stability.
